Where do you get your news? Do you think it’s objective? Do you trust it?
Fewer people are relying on print (newspapers and magazines) and even TV for their news.
Print subscriptions continue to decline and almost half of Americans report getting their news online, nearly the same as TV news.

Most design and product teams have some type of persona document. Theoretically, personas help us better understand our users and meet their needs. The idea is that codifying what we’ve learned about distinct groups of users helps us make better design decisions. Referring to these documents ourselves and sharing them with non-design team members and external stakeholders should ultimately lead to a user experience more closely aligned with what real users actually need.

Many organizations are taking steps towards becoming compliant with the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) before the May 2018 compliance date. But only a few are considering user experience (UX) aspects of GDPR compliance, which is of paramount importance in order to gain a competitive edge. A sound UX strategy tied with GDPR compliance will enable organizations to use personal data privacy as a differentiator in the market to attract new customers and retain existing ones. It is necessary to consider privacy as a key ingredient of your UX at the initial stages itself.
This webinar will cover best practices when applying GDPR into your product experience and user journey with the examples such as:

- Privacy by design
- Managing user consent
- Adopting your software and user interfaces to ensure GDPR compliance

User experience map is a mirror to the user interactions within your products/services.
Last month, I wrote a guide to Google Analytics for UX designers. It’s a useful article if you have a website or product that already has traffic, but what if you’re starting from scratch? How do we build something that people want to use?
A user experience map helps you sketch out the UX and forecast any friction before creating the actual website or prototype. It’s important to look at the whole picture before you start building or even designing. If you already have a product, it can be a great exercise to understand any friction points your customers may be facing.
